Gold Coast Marathon

The Gold Coast Marathon is one of Australia’s premier long distance running events, held each July along the sun soaked coastline of Gold Coast, Queensland. Known for its fast and flat course, the marathon attracts elite athletes chasing qualifying times as well as thousands of recreational runners from around the world. The scenic route follows oceanfront roads, broad city boulevards, and coastal parks, offering cool winter temperatures and enthusiastic crowd support. Alongside the full marathon, the event weekend features a half marathon, 10 km, 5 km, and junior races, making it a true festival of running for all ages and abilities.
